+ MAGNOLIA FARM IRIS GARDENS 
In blue and white BLUE SHIMMER is striking. The long, huge flowers are 
marked clear blue. WASATCH is lightly marked. Very large, it is one of tie 
first to bloom. THEODOLINDA is also very large. The Dutch blue pattern 
is neatly applied. Brilliant MINNIE COLQUITT is marked bright purple 
on a snow white ground. 
As the curtain is lowered on another Iris Show, we realize how much we 
have missed; how many fine varieties we have failed to observe closely and 
report. Another year and there will be many new stars to please us, many 
older favorites that were perhaps having an off year. They will be back in 
full glory, making up for lost time.
